Steel Plate Weight Calculator
Quickly calculate the weight of a steel plate by entering its dimensions, material type and quantity.
The formula for calculating steel plate weight is:
Weight = Volume × Density
Where:
- Volume = Length × Width × Thickness
- Density depends on the material type (e.g., 7,850 kg/m³ for mild steel)
For metric units: Weight (kg) = (Length in mm × Width in mm × Thickness in mm × Density in kg/m³) / 1,000,000,000
For imperial units: Weight (lb) = (Length in inches × Width in inches × Thickness in inches × Density in kg/m³) × 0.0000361273
Note: Weights are theoretical only. Always verify before ordering/transport.
FAQ – Steel Plate Weight Calculator
Different steel alloys have varying compositions, which affect their density. For example, stainless steel contains chromium and sometimes nickel, which can slightly increase its density compared to mild steel.
Knowing the weight of steel plates is important for transportation planning, structural calculations, cost estimation, and ensuring compliance with safety regulations in construction and manufacturing.
Yes, you can use this calculator for aluminum plates by selecting “Custom Density” and entering the density of aluminum (approximately 2,700 kg/m³).
